Tatum’s Totes Wrap Up and Wall of Fame

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Tatum’s Totes is a program that runs year-round to support children in foster care in central and northeastern Vermont. But it gets extra-special in November and December, when we do a special holiday gift drive for children in foster care.

As usual, our friends and supporters rose to the occasion, and this year was the best so far! We matched our sponsors with children in record time, and we brought on new sponsors too — one even took 31 children among their employee group!

Here are our 2023 results from the Tatum’s Totes Holiday Gift Drive:

• 7 corporate sponsors

• 18 individual sponsors

• 4 foster programs, including Barre, St. Johnsbury, and Newport DCF offices

• 159 kids

This year, Green Mountain United Way was added to the Wall of Fame at Tatum’s Totes Headquarters office in Rutland. We are so honored to be on the wall, but truly, it is not us on the wall — it’s all of you.

Thank you to the many people who made this holiday so incredibly special for these children!
